I know I knowβ¦βNew Year, New Youβ is a bit of a cliche, but this is absolutely how Iβm feeling about 2023.β π€·π»ββοΈ
β
Last year I had some big break through moments where I realized that what I was doing to take care of my mental health just wasn't enough.β
β
I was still struggling with anxiety and depression, I was extremely disassociated from myself and my emotions, and I had a ton of buried anger/resentment stemming from my childhood. β
β
This ultimately seeped into every aspect of my life and the people around me could definitely tell something was up. By the middle of 2022 it was getting hard to keep my head above water.β π«
β
Thankfully I am surrounded by some pretty amazing, badass women that called me out on my s**t and have been super supportive of my personal growth journey.β
β
Deep diving into shadow work and journaling with a purpose has had such a profound impact on shifting my mindset and is now a non-negotiable daily habit.β
β
My biggest goals for 2023 are sustaining new healthy habits, routines, and becoming the "New Me" that has been there all along, I just have to continue working to pull her to the surface.β β₯οΈ
I can't wait to vibe out with all of my upcoming brides and do some beautiful makeup! 2023 is going to be absolutely epic.β π€© β β

So happy to join Blake and Ashlynd at the GORGEOUS Union 12 venue in Columbia City on Saturday! The weather was a tad frightful but man did these two and their friends and family bring the warmth! It was such a special, heartfelt day. It's such a great vibe when everyone at the celebration is having a great time supporting the bride and groom! Enjoy your honeymoon you two! I wish you all the luck and love in the world!!!
Today was my last wedding for 2022! We traveled an hour and a half each way and had one of the sweetest bridal parties to end the year with. ππ»
2022 has seriously been so amazing you guys! Iβm not going to lie, the beginning of the year was a bit rocky for me personally, but I am finishing out the year on a super high note.
I have grown tremendously this year as a person and I had some of the most amazing women sit in my chair.
I am so thankful to each and every bride and bridesmaid that trusted me to do their makeup and allowed me to be a part of their special day.
The future is so so bright!!π
I know 2023 is going to be full of continued growth, learning, opportunities, and lots of cool ass people!
I will be definitely celebrating with some bubbly tonight. Cheers friends!π₯ β β

Tips for longer lasting special event makeup β¦ππΌβ
β
β Hands off your face. The more you touch and rub with your fingers the product will transfer off. The oil from our fingers can disturb makeup. β
β
π€§ If you are going to cry. Try tilting your head up and holding your tissue right in the tear duct of your eyes. This will help catch the tears before they run down!β
β
π¦Please do not use any outside product from what your artist has provided to touch up or βset.β Everything we have put on is meant to be budge proof and work together. If touch ups are needed we can recommend specific products so you donβt have any seperation. Please hold off on setting sprays and primers. We will provide everything. β
β
π§΄How you have prepped your skin is going to be key. If your skin is off balanced, textured, or dry makeup cannot sit right if last how youβd like. We recommend coming in for facial treatments, taking home a professional prescribed regimen, or subscribing to our at home subscription boxes to best prep your face for your event so the makeup sits correctly and can last all day.β
β
Following these tips will ensure longevity for your all day events!β

RACHAEL + JEREMIAH
Rachel and Jeremiah were lovely and sweet. We had the most beautiful day and fall light for their wedding on Sunday. My favorite part of the whole day was witnessing their vows while the warm sun set to the West and the moon rose to the East.
We have never had such a beautiful sunset ceremony. May God bless these two as they continue their lives together. It was our pleasure to be with you on your wedding day!
